Ticket Pricing for the Portland Blind Cafe May 21 - 23, 2015

Our Breakeven cost per person is $85.00

Sliding Scale $35 - $195

Please pay at the highest level you can afford

We have a very cool pricing system. We scholarship a limited amount of discounted tickets (see below) to people who otherwise could not attend this event, so no one is ever turned away because of lack of funds. So please pay at the highest level you can afford between $35 – $195. By paying more than the suggested average cost per person of $85, you are actually helping us to sponsor others to this event who otherwise could not come. So it’s a cool system. Thanks!

Wait! What I am I getting myself into?

Just to be clear! The Blind Cafe event you are about to sign up for is NOT a regular dinner in the dark! If you want a regular dinner in the dark, there are some restaurants in California and New York where it is solely about the food and you sit with the table mates you come with and it's like a regular restaurant.

What you ARE getting at the Blind Cafe is:

A Social Experience of breaking bread together in the dark! A dinner at 6 - 8 person tables shared with others from the community.

A group discussion between the audience ( you ) and our amazing warm heart felt legally Blind keynote speakers/ servers who will share their personal stories with you and you will have the chance to ask questions, and discuss blindness in the dark with the entire room all paying attention.

A Music Performance in the dark! A 6 - 8 songs set of live music performed with the intention of listening to music without your cell phones, visual conditioning and social etiquette!

What you ARE NOT getting at the Blind Cafe is:

We are not simulating what it is like to be blind! You will get an insight / window into blindness by hearing the stories of our awesome blind staff and participating in a discussion together but you are NOT going to experience what it's like to actually be a blind person.

You will be in the pitch dark and uncomfortable feeling may come up for you. We find that if you stay present, breath and bring attention to letting go of control, it can be a life changing experience. If you don't, you will go home upset because you couldn't control anything because, well you were completely blinded.

The Blind Cafe is a very powerful experience and can be challenging but that's what you signing up for right? Outside our comfort zone - growth! You can't grow with our stretching your comfort zone. So be warned, The Blind Cafe is an awesome, exciting and growth initiating experience. Your experience will depend on your ability to be with yourself, when you don't know what to do. What ever comes up for you in the dark, make room for it! Welcome those feelings and you may find a release on the other side. Call me Rosh, if you have questions! Thanks Rosh & The Blind Cafe team! 720 495 7797

Cell Phone Check? About the darkness: We don't use blindfolds, the room is COMPLETELY PITCH DARK! So... we will have a Cell Phone and glow in dark watch 'check' to avoid any desire to use light in the dining room and distort the dining experience. We will have someone "coat checking" cell phones and glow in dark watches. We will mark your item with your name to be placed in a bag. OR you can check your bag w/ your cell phone at registration and we keep it safe. (We have done this in the past with purses and they are safe) * If you opt to not "coat check" your cell phones but then you use them in the dining room, you will be asked to leave for the night immediately. Thanks :)
